ok - i understand now.

this changes your AGI, line 22 of the 1040 (not sure what the 1040X line is)

so is your AGI on the 1040X above the 125 percent of the poverty line mark ? if so, yer golden...

So, if yer golden, submit a new I-864 on interview day with the 1040x and itin.

ok iam good i make enough to cover it , so you are saying submit new ones to CO meaning have wife take them with her just in case they ask for it or you mean give it to them without they asking for it ? .. Because the part of I-864 at the embassy i dont get , a lot of people i see posts from talking about issues with I-864 at the embassy , Technically you were done with Affidavit at NVC so how did you make it all the way to interview if you had issue with your i-864 ? also embassy does not tell you to bring a copy of your I-864 to your interview . I have been Through this before and never was asked for a copy of any of that , i am not arguing with you i am just Trying to understand i guess i dont wanna Complicate things if i don't have too .. So i am saying i will have my wife take all this with her just in case they ask for it . If they dont ask for it im not gonna have her give it to the CO . ( what you think? ) .

uhm - bring a new I-864 set showing the corrected 1040x stuff, with a COPY of her ITIN letter from the IRS.

Thanks for updating your timeline.

If you had not had a case complete at NVC, I would suggest to send in the new I-864.

Since you have a case complete, SHE needs to hand it over on interview day. Is not anything optional, you have updated tax stuff and MUST show the current stuff that the IRS has on you.

Since yer golden on the income levels, don't sweat that part

and remember - showing 'married filing jointly' is great fodder for 'bonafide marriage' evidence.

...sweat mode off}}

What's your embassy?

I'm trying to see if I could get an early interview too (because I'm 7 months pregnant) & honestly I'm so confused on how to do it

All you have to do is contact the embassy, explain your situation, and kindly ask if an earlier interview date is possible. Good luck!

soo,do I contact NVC first or is it the other way around?Reading up on the forums it seems a lot of people contact them first...

Also, a lot of paperwork they send now a days is by email correct?

If you don't contact NVC and them give both email addresses, then they'll have no choice but to snail mail correspondence to you.

There's absolutely no need to contact NVC at all during this process. But, if you don't want to spend MONTHS there, then I suggest you contact NVC and stay in contact with them.

Wow!! Now I'm worried too!!! i dont want to get issues with the I-864 at the embassy :/

Got our approval today, will contact our lawyer tomorrow to have him start on the next step...but just so I know I give it a few days before calling NVC for the case number? and also can I as the beneficiary call NVC? I know at the uscis stage I couldn't

Grats!

It's going to take a few days for your case to arrive at NVC, especially with the upcoming holidays. I say start calling next Thursday and then everyday afterwards. And yes, the beneficiary most certainly can call! I was the only one that contacted NVC throughout our process. My husband (the USC) didn't really know what was going on, so I did everything Had ZERO problems calling as the beneficiary.

Thank you! I was worried since I recently moved back to the states,but mailed my petition while I was living abroad

and it seems USCIS never emailed me my notifications,so I was like (did they ever get my e-mail right?)

Great I will for sure give it a few days before I bombard them with calls lol, my husband is the same; for days I begged him to call USCIS and ask for the location of our petition and he promised he would call on his next day off which would have been 2 weeks from now, I am so excited to get the approval today as I don't have to worry about him calling anymore because I can take the matters in my own hands haha

Same situation here lol so I'm glad the beneficiary can call(unlike USCIS)...my wife the petitioner can't be bothered with those things, even with all the paper work for USCIS she told me to prepare it and just 'show me where to sign' lol

I could have put naked pictures of her inside and she wouldn't know...luckily she trusts me

with a G-28 in play, you don't need to contact NVC to jumpstart the process -

the NVC clerks will see the G-28 in the casefile,

and the AOS fee bill and IV fee bill will be generated, sent out via email to both the petitioner and the attorney.

I say give it about 12 days from NOA-2 date.. for the nonce.

Yeah, those USCIS notifications are a hit and miss.

Oh jeez. You definitely need to take charge of the NVC process then

Same situation here lol so I'm glad the beneficiary can call(unlike USCIS)...my wife the petitioner can't be bothered with those things, even with all the paper work for USCIS she told me to prepare it and just 'show me where to sign' lol

My husband was the same way after the USCIS step I think he figured that I spent hours and hours on VJ every single day and knew what I was doing.

Sorry to bother but, I have a couple of questions about the DS 230.

1- question no 2 about the maiden name, I'm married but my name hasn't changed after the marriage. Should I but None or just write my full name again ?

2- question no 30 about the places I have lived for...... I've lived all my life in one place, one address and one city.

Could I write my date of birth to present, or otherwise ? and do they only need the city and country or the full address ?

Thanks in advance.
